Program Notes: Stage Patter

What
a composer says about her or his music is often misdirection (intentional or not.) In this aspect,
composing can be thought of as a form of stage magic with a similar
arsenal of tricks (production, vanishing, transformation, restoration,
transposition, transportation, escape, levitation, penetration,
prediction.)
